Within the Giants-Lions recreation, there have been 5 kickoffs of which 4 have been returned. The Lions returned three for 76 yards (25.3 yards per try) and the Giants had a 26-yarder.
The Lions’ different kickoff fell wanting the touchdown zone (contained in the 20) and the Giants have been awarded the ball on their very own 40.
Baldinger’s level is that groups will probably be beginning drives nearer to the 30-yard line whereas the typical begin of drives below the outdated guidelines was the 25.
